@STEMyBanda I have to be in work so…

So glad it’s half term. Love teaching but not where I’m teaching.

@beejdeva @adamboxer1 We discussed it on the npq I did with ambition

@adamboxer1 In a recent NPQSL course which lasted two years we spoke about implementation every session. Not once did anyone mention de-implementation and how to do it effectively.

SUBTRACT New post from me, on school leadership and policy. achemicalorthodoxy.co.uk/2024/10/20/sub…

Independent reading during school time (e.g., DEAR) has not had strong research support. New meta-analysis of 47 quasi-exp studies shows modest effects for reading motivation and word recognition, and no effect for comprehension. Article is open-access. journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.11…

So today I learned the hard way why you always wear safety goggles when doing experiments. Salt water and potato? I’ll be fiiine. Nope. Turns out I’m allergic to raw potato when it’s rubbed in my eye by accident. ;( even after many antihistamines it’s still swollen.

@MBDscience This is why I teach pshe to a y12 and a y13 group and their form tutors do not.

PSHE 👏 should 👏 be 👏 taught 👏 by 👏 PSHE 👏 teachers 👏 not 👏 by 👏 form👏 tutors

@EyesShutTeacher I do the same too! I got home early as I had to leave to pick up my eldest from sch. One of my y11 told me there was no point me setting cover as they wouldn’t do it. 🙄

@MsGee_C I’m primary & did exactly the same 2 weeks ago. Then the cover doesn’t get taught anyway because the class was split & the pastoral stuff isn’t dealt with so you’ve a mess to sort out when you get back (still not 100% but a bit better). But I tell everyone to stay off & rest 😂

I feel like poop with a cold. But the thought of setting 5hrs of cover that is all uploaded, with instructions, is meaningful, easy for a non specialist to deliver and will actually be done is beyond my brain power right now and it’s easier to just go in and teach. :(

@La_Biologuita This is amazing news. Am so happy for you xxx

@amymayforrester Came home to my 12yo and her best friend doing this. Great way to end the week!

Ever put a marshmallow and chocolate in the air fryer? Me neither. Until today. Game changer.

Open evening last Wednesday and Thursday I came down with a crappy cold. Coincidence?

@edmunds_dr I’ve been using your equations practice book and had such fantastic responses from students

The site sciencedoctor.school.blog started in July 2019, with a single resource. I was proud of a worksheet that I'd made and shared a screenshot of it here. Lots of people asked for it so I uploaded it. Anyway, the site has now hit ONE MILLION DOWNLOADS. Mad. Thank you all.

Scotland has detected no cases of cervical cancer in women born between 1988-1996 who were fully vaccinated against HPV between the ages of 12 and 13. statnews.com/2024/01/25/hpv…

@La_Biologuita Good luck xxx

@teachChemisstry @MBDscience I find 28 hard. Glad it’s changing

@MsGee_C @MBDscience It’s not going forward.
